The Baltimore County Police Department have found Matthew James Veselyunharmed and in good condition at UMBC.

Matthew James Vesely was seen on video surveillance in an engineering lab at UMBC at 11:15 a.m. yesterday. Investigators have confirmed that it was him on the video and he appeared to be all right.

Matthew James Vesely disappeared last Saturday at 4:00 a.m. near his home in the 3400 block of North Trail Way 21250.

Police say he is a student at UMBC.

Police said Vesely's father was the last to see him when he picked him up at a Baltimore County police station after court records showed Vesely was arrested for DUI on Interstate 95 at 2:37 a.m. Saturday.

Documents show that when they returned to his parent's house in Parkville, Vesely ran to the back of the house and down a trail. He's been missing since.

The UMBC student's parents said he was distraught over the DUI and that may be why he ran away. They sent a statement to 11 News in the hope that their son would see it, saying, "Matthew, your family and friends are worried about you and need to know if you are safe. Everyone loves you. You are the best. Please contact someone if you can."

"We don't know everything, but it's weird to see a guy like that gone without a trace. We're hoping that he comes back soon, because people are really looking for him. People are really worried," Bell said.

11 News was also in contact with one of Vesely's cousins who said he and a few relatives have been actively searching for Vesely around the UMBC campus. The cousin said there have been a few possible sightings, but so far, there's been no concrete sign of him.
